The HBO cameras have officially packed up and gone home. The Jets retired the channel’s F-bomb trophy all across the summer, passing “Oz” in Week 3, bypassing “The Sopranos” by Week 4 and finally taking down “Deadwood” in the season finale.

(Seems like it was such a simpler and more innocent time when Rex Ryan nearly caused the Internet to explode when he suggested it was time for “a g–damn snack,” doesn’t it?)

Now, Aaron Rodgers can quit hamming it up for the cameras, trying to be the most hilarious man in every huddle. Now, he can keep his zany stories of UFO sightings in North Jersey contained to what has to be the oddest text thread in America.

Now, he can go about the business of Chapter 2.

Rodgers will be judged by what happens during the whole of the coming 18-week, 17-game season — assuming he stays upright for all of it. But it would surely behoove him to bring his “A” game Monday night. As another man with a similar surname — Will Rogers, missing the spare “d” — is reputed to have said: “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”

We’ve seen plenty of quarterbacks with Rodgers’ résumé make a late-career switch from the uniform it long seemed they’d be buried in to a different one which, at first glance, looked as strange as Frank Sinatra wearing a Nehru jacket. But that really happened. And so did these 10 other notable quarterback reintroductions, to varying degrees of success.

Peyton Manning: On Sept. 9, 2012, the lifelong Colt debuted as a Bronco and looked terrific at age 36, especially given he’d sat out his last year in Indianapolis after having neck-spine surgery. He was 19-for-26 for 253 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 31-19 win over the Steelers in Denver. The Broncos started 2-3 that year and finished the season with 11 straight wins.

Joe Montana: He may have had the most resounding debut for his new team. He’d played only one game his final two seasons in San Francisco, but on Sept. 5, 1993, he looked as if he’d never been away: 14-for-21, 246 yards, three TDs and no picks — and a QB rating of 146.0 — in a 27-3 thrashing of the Buccaneers in Tampa.

One ominous harbinger: The 37-year-old Montana hurt his wrist and missed the next game — a 30-0 loss to the Oilers — the first of five games he skipped in an 11-5 Chiefs season that ended in the AFC title game in Buffalo.

Tom Brady: Brady was 43 when he took his first snap as a Buccaneer after 20 seasons in New England, and though he crafted a storybook ending to the season by winning his seventh Super Bowl, it began modestly on Sept. 13, 2020.

In the Superdome, against the Saints, Brady was 23-for-36 for 239 yards with a pair of TDs and two picks in a 34-23 loss.

Joe Namath: Namath was just 34 when he took the field at Atlanta’s Fulton County Stadium on Sept. 18, 1977, wearing a Rams uniform for the first time after 12 seasons as a Jet, but his knees made him hobble like an old man. His numbers in a 17-6 loss to the Falcons were decent — 15-for-30 for 141 yards and a touchdown — but that turned out to be the highlight of a brief four-game cameo for Los Angeles.

Johnny Unitas: Nobody had looked more old-school stylish across his 17 years as a Baltimore Colt; nobody looked more out-of-place garish in San Diego powder blues on Sept. 16, 1973, at Washington’s RFK Stadium. And Unitas’ first game as a Charger was a nightmare — 6-for-17, 55 yards, three picks and five sacks — as Washington handed him a 38-0 trouncing. He played just four more games.

Y.A. Tittle: The 49ers believed they were unloading a washed-up 35-year-old after 10 years, but on Sept. 24, 1961 — Week 2 — the Giants learned different. Tittle’s numbers were modest — 10-for-12, 123 yards and a TD — but he guided Big Blue to a 10-2-1 record on his watch and three straight trips to the NFL Championship Game.

Norm Van Brocklin: He’d been a Pro Bowler in six of his nine seasons in Los Angeles, but his legend was cemented in Philly, where he won an MVP in his last season, 1960, guiding the Eagles to their last title for 58 years. But his debut in Philly Sept. 28, 1958, was a dud: 12-for-25 for 109 yards in a 24-14 loss to Washington on the way to a brutal 2-9-1 mark.

Brett Favre: The lasting image of Favre is as a Packer, the team with which he spent 16 years. But he’s unique to this list in that he had two different late-career debuts. On Sept. 7, 2008, he had a terrific game in Miami for the Jets — 15-for-22, 194 yards, two TDs — in a 20-14 win kicking off a season that was sidetracked when he was injured in Week 12. A year later, on Sept. 13, 2009, he was an equally efficient 14-for-21 for 110 yards and a TD in a 34-20 Vikings trashing of the Browns.

Russell Wilson: He has time to reverse what, for now, looks like a path similar to Namath’s and Unitas’ following a tough 2022, his first in Denver after 10 years with the Seahawks. He did start off fine, though, in a 17-16 loss to his old team in his old stadium in the 2022 opener on Sept. 12 — 29-for-42, 340 yards, one TD.

Philip Rivers: He will go into Canton as a 16-year Charger. In his first game as a Colt on Sept. 13, 2020, he slung the ball around a lot (36-for-46, 363 yards, a TD and two picks) and lost a 27-20 decision at Jacksonville, but Indianapolis recovered nicely to the tune of an 11-5 season.
